When is Mental Health Awareness Week 2024?
May sees
both Mental Health Awareness Week (13th May - 19th May), and Maternal Mental Health Week (29th April - 5th May) take place – both intended to draw attention to challenges around mental
health.
The organisations behind these two important awareness weeks give a lot of thought to choose an annual theme and focus for each year.
What is the theme for Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week?
Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is organised by the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership. Their focus is on raising awareness of the illnesses that can occur during the perinatal period whilst shining a spotlight on the services and support available to help.
This year their theme is ‘Rediscovering you'. Their week long campaign has a different focus each day. You can read more about them here.
We'll be sharing
our favourite mantras on our social media channels to support the 'Rediscovering you' theme, focused on new Mums navigating
matrescence.
Join the conversation on social media using #rediscoveringyou, #mmhaw24 and #maternalMHmatters
What is the 2024 theme for Mental Health Awareness Week?
The Mental Health Foundation’s theme for 2024 is 'Movement: Moving more for our mental health'.
Many of us struggle to get enough movement into our daily life, but being active is important for both our physical and mental health. This Mental Health Awareness Week they'll be helping people find moments for more movement in their day. Find out more here.
Getting out doors for a walk or run is a great way to get more movement in your day and is more appealing now the weather is improving. It is also a great way to practice mindfulness, which studies show can help to manage depression, anxiety and feelings of stress.
